She is celebrated on the night between the 12th and the 13th of December, especially in schools, retirement homes, hospitals and other institutions all over Denmark, with small girl processions and traditional singing.

Legend has it that Lucia, in order to keep her hands free, wore a wreath with candles on her head so that she could (illegally) feed the poor Christians on the hide in the catacombs of ancient Rome.

I had perceived Christian as the typical first born boy who would naturally get and get used to loads of attention in the family (similar to Prince William) - I don't think he was too pleased with Isabella being born forcing him to share everything. But as I said, he has grown a lot and become more at ease.

Just love all the photos. Must be great fun for Christian and Isabella to have gorgeous little playmates to look after. This looks to be the first time they received gifts at the choir. The organisers just couldn't help themselves it seems. And Christian has a great laugh with his good friend Emily Heering in the row behind. And Vincent has such long blonde hair. Don't remember Christian having hair that long at the same age.
